' i0 videdwith a large sewing area, and which may be affixed in such a manner that even in'light fabrics a relatively great stress may be had.

WVit-h the foregoing and other objects in 15 view I have invented the device shown in the accompanying drawings, in which: 7 Figure 1 is a top plan view of my clasp element fastened together. I

Figure 2 is a top plan view of one of the 20 clasp members.

Figure 3 is a bottom plan view of the other clasp member.

Figure t is a section at 4:'-4: Figure 1. Like reference characters indicate like 5 parts throughout the several views of the drawings and in. the specificatioinin Which Qbindicates one of the clasp members and 3 indicates the other of the clasp members. Clasp member 2 is provided adjacent the end 30 with a bottom or knob 4, and the clasp member 3 has stamped outa pair of sidewalls ,5 and 6 forming a channel 7 for the knob l, and has also stamped out an end wall 8 I for limiting the movement of the knob 4.

Suitableholes 9v are provided near the edge of the elliptical p'latesof both the members 2 and3 for sewing to the garment or other member to be clasped. i

In operation, the knob 4 is Y reverse end of the channel 7 to that where it is positioned in Figure l, and slides down the channel reachingth'e limit of its'movementby the end wall 8. where it is firmly held, so that the sidewalls 5 and 6 overhang the knob 4:: preventing its displacement, and.

the length of the channel prevents its escaping from the channel by accidentalor other stresses in a backwarddirection.

and are arcuately formed as at 9, providing inserted at the ne Walls 5 and 6 are pressed up from metal pushed out in forming the channel 7 an arcuate channel forthe button head 4. it
